Fashion Week Rochester is back this fall, and it's being reimagined a bit this year.
What hasn't changed is its mission: the event has always been about serving the Center for Youth. As the center's executive director, Elaine Spaull writes, "With threats from our federal government and the needs growing every day, our work with youth facing homelessness, despair, and abandonment must be brave."
This hour, we talk with Spaull about that work. We also hear from local emerging designers who share their remarkable stories.
